Darn 30 is old

I’ve been in North America for every Super Bowl since I was 21. My birthday is the week before Super Bowl, just happens that I’ve been in the snow for a few birthdays.

9 years ago I celebrated my 21st in Whistler, with Fi, at a pub called ‘Tommy Africas’ and…. that is all I’m willing to share about the matter. I did learn that Lady Whistler Instuctors like to be called ‘Instructesses’.

I’ve come a long way since then.

Ahhh, don’t laugh – now I’m 30, I’m trying to be more mature.

So for my 30th I thought about Vegas…. I’m not sure I’m invited back after my trip there in early December (yeah I did a bit of a ‘Charlie Sheen’ on my hotel suite, 3 nights in a row). And my trip to Reno 9 months earlier kinda rules that out as a birthday venue – if I ever fall victim to religion, I’m going to spend years asking for forgiveness for what I did in Reno.

Until then I’m blaming it all on global warming…..

Back to my 30th. Since Vegas and Reno were ruled out, I thought about New York or Venice but I don’t know anyone out there so why not Colorado?

I’ve worked pretty darn hard to get here, I’ve got a bunch of bloody good mates. So why not have my 30th here in Colorado?

Hosting a party in Colorado is too easy, it is my home town… so lets complicate it with a 16 mile snowmobile tow to the hotel.

I had originally planned the trip with 28 people!!!! Bummer that everyone didn’t rock up but it was kinda nice when it came to the logistics.

Speaking of logistics and planning….. I arrived in the carpark and “someone” in the party was wearing a t-shirt and didn’t bring a jacket of any kind…… guess who that was?

He has a slight Aussie accent, his name starts with T, he has dark hair, dark eyes, turned 30 that day and his name ends in “om”…. I suppose even 30 years can’t fix ‘stupid’.

After Cole loaned me his spare jacket, we began our journey to Red Cliff……

I’m just going to throw out a few random pics down here. There will be more I’m sure.
